When people ask me about this, I tell them that I can only answer for the children and adults that I have evaluated or treated. Yes, there probably are some individuals who have received medication when some other treatment might have been better. On the other hand, there are probably others who were not been diagnosed for years and could have benefited from medication. Finally, even if someone has attention deficit disorder (ADHD) and is on medication, is it the best medication, dosage and timing?

This week's newsletter looks at surviving ADD in the workplace and succeeding in spite and sometimes because of ADD.

MBTI Temperament and ADD "Another possibility is that there are certain temperament traits that predispose individuals to exhibit behaviors that are characteristic of both ADHD and creativity." - Dr. Bonnie Cramond, The Coincidence of ADHD and Creativity Introduction T emperament consists of the traits you were born with. It differs from personality, which is a combination of your temperament and life experiences, although the two terms are often used interchangeably. Temperament is determined by your unique neurological characteristics and unlike personality, it cannot be changed. It's like handedness. If you were born left handed, you will always have a preference for using your left hand, even though you can train yourself to use your right hand more than you otherwise would. If you force yourself (or someone forces you) to become right-handed, it won't work and you will only become frustrated. Temperament is the same way. If you have a natural preference for spontaneity and flexibility over being decisive and organized, you will always be that way. You can train yourself to be somewhat more organized, but if you try to completely alter your temperament you will only become frustrated and depressed.

Extractions: Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are disorders faced by many families today. We've brought together our best articles here in this section. For related topics, refer to: Learning Disabilities or Physical Disabilities and General Information Our rating system for these articles is: ADHD and Children Who Are Gifted Frequently, bright children have been referred to psychologists or pediatricians because they exhibited certain behaviors (e.g., restlessness, inattention, impulsivity, high activity level, day-dreaming) commonly associated with a diagnosis of ADHD. Almost all of these behaviors, however, might be found in bright, talented, creative, gifted children. Until now, little attention has been given to the similarities and differences between the two groups, thus raising the potential for misidentification in both areas-giftedness and ADHD. This digest provides specific differences between the two groups that will help parents and educators better understand and evaluate their children.

Extractions: Attention Deficit - Hyperactivity Disorder A Guide for Parents (from LDA) Attention deficit disorder is a syndrome characterized by serious and persistent difficulties in the following three specific areas: Attention span. Impulse control. Hyperactivity (sometimes). ADD is a chronic disorder that can begin in infancy and extend through adulthood, having negative effects on a child's life at home, school, and within the community. It is conservatively estimated that 3 to 5% of our school-age population is affected by ADD. The condition previously fell under the headings, "learning disabled," "brain damaged," "hyperkinetic," or "hyperactive." The term attention deficit disorder was introduced to describe the characteristics of these children more clearly.
